    I'd say when the restrictions down here are reduced, there will be a lot of cars heading up from ROI especially as Christmas shopping will be starting and with a high EUR/GBP exchange rate.
    Traffic would also depend on any restrictions in NI at that time.

    The consumer exchange rate is €1.13/£1, absolutely no incentive to travel to save a few cent when there are so many deals locally

    Bud Light. I haven't seen it on offer for a while though. If I see it anywhere I will post here.

    O'Brien's are doing 5 bottles of Guinness Foreign Export for €10. Lovely stuff, a far bigger tastier drink than standard Guinness.

    1litre is 25e in Tesco.
    70cl is 20e including flavoured types eg citron

    Sainsburys offering 25% off wine if buying 6, bottle of Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc 75cl is £6.75/€7.63, buy 6 or more and it's €5.72.
    Tesco ROI have it for €10, reduced to €8.33 if buying 6 or more.
    So €5.92 against €8.33, nearly 50% dearer, that's a big difference.
    There are many other differences toys, electrical, booze and others.
    Some shops in Newry will also give you a much higher exchange rate and money will be tight for a lot of people this Christmas and every little bit will help.

    I'm all for shopping locally but not if it's going to cost a fortune to do so.

    With everyone switching to the smaller guinness multipacks, how long before supplies of the normal widget run out altogether?

    Im really liking the Murphys now, have had a few of them lately.
    Got 4 Beamish at the weekend and its probably more "tastful" than the other two.





    I find the beamish more bitter then the Guinness maybe it was just the can, haven't had a Murphy's in a can yet I know you can but a single can of kilkenny drought in supervalu cant see it anywhere else[/QUOTE]

    Beamish is a bitter drink but has a taste unlike Guinness which I find terribly bland especially out of a can. Speaking of which are Beamish cans ever on offer? Always seems to be €2 per can

    Beamish are 8 for €10 in Lidl from time to time, including right now as it happens, but I think that probably runs out this evening so you'll need to be quick!

    No, the EU Single Market consists of four fundamental freedoms; people, goods, capital and services. But there are exceptions like with excisable goods.

    The question is what's gonna happen with regards bringing alcohol across the border come January 1st.

    I have news for you pal.
    The UK will forever remain in the UK until such time as they may decide to disband the Kingdom.

    Noticed a fair few unusual Gins in Musgraves today all marked down by 25%. Not a Gin drinker so couldn't tell you much more than they looked more craft type than the mass market stuff

    still 10 as said but offies are closing earlier these days (i.e. non supermarket offies like o briens, this is their current hours
    Store Opening Hours

    Mon-Wed; 12-8pm

    Thur-Sat: 12-9pm

    Sunday: 12.30-7pm )

    It starts selling at 10.30am in the morning, I had 10 in my head and had to wait around 5mins one morning until I could buy it, I was hitting the shop early to avoid queues in the first lockdown.

    Lucky that brilliant law had me wait 5mins, otherwise I would have been swigging vodka by the neck and kicking off fights in the carpark outside at 10.25.

    Eurospar Barnhall (not sure about other branches) also had Jameson @ EUR20/70cl (yesterday evening anyway).

    Is the deal on Roe and Co over?

    Also- Dunnes had 1lt Absolut (several different ones) at 30 a bottle. Anyone know if this is still available?
